How We Use This Information To Serve You

When you first register with Blue Dolphin, we ask for your name, mailing address, e-mail address and a password. Once you supply this information, you will be able to manage your account online. Plus, you will be able to receive transactional e-mails with important information about your account and orders and any promotional e-mails you have signed up to receive. All information sent via e-mail will come directly from Blue Dolphin, and you may contact us to remove your name from our promotional e-mail list at any time. We use your billing address and credit/debit card number and expiration date to fulfill your purchase order and send you the products you order from our site. All information on current and former members is retained in our database for customer service and state and federal compliance purposes.

Personally Identifiable Information

Blue Dolphin does not share your personally identifiable information with non-affiliated third parties for promotional or other purposes unrelated to products you order from Blue Dolphin. Blue Dolphin shares your information with its affiliates, service providers, third parties who contract with Blue Dolphin to provide services to Blue Dolphin, and the fulfillment centers and magazine publishers who will process your orders.

Thus, if you order a print magazine or digital subscription, your name, postal address and e-mail address may be shared with the company that provides fulfillment services for that magazine and with the publisher of the magazine that you ordered. This kind of information is shared only to process your order and to provide you with better customer service. BlueDolphin.com maintains direct relationships with magazine publishers to ensure that you always get the largest possible selection of titles, the lowest authorized prices online and the fastest and most reliable service.

Credit/debit card information

Credit/debit card information is never shared with outside parties for promotional or other purposes unrelated to products you order from Blue Dolphin. As explained above, when you order a magazine online, we will ask for your name, mailing address, your phone number and credit/debit card information. This information will be used only to process your order and send you the product you requested, and we will share it with our service providers that help us process orders and refunds, charge credit cards, and maintain our customer database and customer accounts. We will not share credit/debit card information with anyone else (unless an outside company is part of the process of fulfilling your order). As an extra precaution, Blue Dolphin uses the latest SSL encryption technology for a secure online ordering environment.

Friend/family members' information

If you send a gift subscription to a friend or family member, their information will never be sold, and will be shared only with the magazine publishers and our service providers as described herein. We will use the information only to process your order and send the magazine to your gift recipient. Unless the recipient visits our site and personally registers to become a member, his or her information will not be added to our active mailing list, but will only be retained in our database for accounting and current or future customer service purposes.

Children's information

We believe that protecting the privacy of children is crucial. Therefore, we do not knowingly collect or maintain information at our Web site from children under age 16, and no part of our Web site is structured to attract those under 16. If we obtain information of children we know are under the age of 16, we will delete the information and not process the order or inquiry.

Affiliate Programs

We also partner with third party websites to promote our magazine offers to visitors of those third party sites by way of paid listings and other hosted links and offer pages. If you accept one of our offers or respond to our targeted or paid listings made available on third party sites, your information also may be shared (by you) with the partner or affiliate which originated the link to our site. These partners and affiliates may use the information you provided to present you with other opportunities in accordance with their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of our partners and affiliates.

Other Instances of Sharing Personal Information

In addition to the ways we share your personal information described above, we may share information that we collect from users as needed to enforce our rights, protect our property or protect the rights, property or safety of others, or as needed to support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions. We will disclose personal information as we deem necessary to respond to a subpoena, regulation, binding order of a data protection agency, legal process, governmental request or other legal or regulatory process. We may also share personal information as required to pursue available remedies or limit damages we may sustain.
